Hey all,

As part of my exercise to migrate code from Codesourcery to RVCT 4.0, I need to convert a codesourcery compatible ld script to armlink compatible scatter file. Can someone guide me through it or any tutorial on the topic would be very helpful.

Thanks and Regards

Hey all,

I started conversion of my LD script to an armlink scatter file. But I am really not able to specify my symbols (which were present in the LD script; _etext for example). Another thing I wanted to know is how do we specify the output sections in the scatter file. I noticed that we can specify the output regions but there is no mention of output sections. If it is not needed, then which output regions should I place my .text , .data and .bss sections? The last query is that do scatter files have an equivalen symbol to "." ie the location counter found in LD scripts.

Maybe you want to try the GNU ld script support in armlink 4.1 <http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.a...a/BABEGCID.html>?

Thanks for the information, but I wanted to know how to carry out the task in RVCT 4.0 (armlink 4.0).
